Coca-Cola Magicans
Imagine opening a can of Coke to discover real cash inside that you can spend instantly. The Coca-Cola Magicans giveaway seemed like a good idea to someone, but it wasn’t particularly well thought out. The problem was that, to weigh down the cans and make them indistinguishable from regular Coke cans, Coca-Cola filled them with chlorinated water instead of cola. Sometimes this water leaked onto the prize cash. And in at least one instance, an unlucky winner drank some of the unsafe water before realizing his mistake.
